A whole day of the mile.
UW Mile City is a Saturday of mile races at Dempsey Indoor in Seattle. Section after section runs slow to fast on a rolling schedule, from the morning into the early evening.
The invite miles are the headliners. On the host's tentative schedule the women's pair runs at 1:15 and 1:25 p.m. and the men's pair at 1:35 and 1:45 p.m. Last year the men's seeded sections ran from 3:58 to 4:34, according to the host.
UW reported that 18 men broke four minutes at the 2025 edition. The approach here is the same as every meet on the 2027 slate: the whole day, edited down to the frames that earn a place.
Tentative schedule.
